Top 10 must buys for DS 10. Starfox command. A great starfox game (possibly the best since starfox 64) that combines strategy and action into one game. A wide array of paths and ships give the game a good replay value. It also has a multi play fight mode where you can showoff your skills as a pilot. 9. Kirby squeak squad This Kirby game is a fun side scrolling action game with some puzzles thrown in. As usual Kirby can take powers from enemies, but in this game you can also combine the powers to make a whole new power. There is also treasure chests scattered in the levels that will give you new colors for Kirby and more. 8. Ultimate mortal kombat There is not much to say about this game. It's ultimate MK 3 with some new bells. There is the move and fatality list on the top screen witch is cool so you do not need to remember every move for every character. There is also multi player fights as well as puzzle kombat from MK deception 7. Transformers (autobots or deceptions) Transformers is a fun sandbox action game where you can make your own transformer. There are two different copies of the game, in one you play as the autobots and in the other you play as the deceptions. The autobot version is more about protecting and in the deception one it is more about destroying. 6. Super Mario 64 DS SM64DS is Super Mario 64 but with some new things put in. you can play as Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Wario. It also has new mini games O.O. The D pad still works good on this game. 5. Chrono trigger Chrono trigger is a great RPG game where you travel threw time to stop an apocalypse in the distant future. You meat all sorts of friends on the way like a robot, a frog, and a cavewoman. The best thing by far is the ability to combine attacks with your team mates. 4. Contra 4 (O.O 4 & 4) Contra 4 is the best shooting game on the DS. It is vary hard but it is still as fun as ever. For the price of one game you get 3, ya 3. You get Contra 4, the original Contra, and Super C. There is also a challenge mode where you do a bunch of things. 3. Metroid prime hunters This Metroid game is in first person so it is just like the other prime games. Not only it does it have a exciting single player mode but it also has a fun multi player mode where you can play as 7 different hunters. 2. New super Mario bros It is the original SMB with some new items to play around with. It also has some mini games that can be found on Super Mario 64 DS. That was essay 1. Mario kart DS Mario kart DS is the first ever time Mario has gone on a track on a handheld. It has a Ton of tracks as well as characters. This game has great multi play action and provides hours on hours of fun. It still has a Mario kart crazy items at your disposal. Its just plane fun if you have a DS you need to have Mario kart DS.

hmm I only have numbers 1 and 2. I'm not a huge DS user but I would add GTA: Chinatown Wars and maybe even a Pokemon game (even though I fully understand if people like me are tired of those games lol)

I disagree with 7-10. The World Ends With You, FFIV, Professor Layton, and Yoshi's Island are better suited.

A few changes i would made: 10. starfox -> FFIV DS 9. Kirby squeak squad -> Kirby superstar ultra 8. Ultimate mortal kombat? Possibly... Maybe i, unwillingly throw GTA at 8. 7. Transformers? I don`t think so. Yoshi island for 7. SM64 is ok. CT is ok... but maybe i would rank it as 10, instead of 5. 4. Contra 4? Well... in my humble opinion, contra 4 only appeal to its actual fanbase conquered with the older games. I mean the game is good and stuff... but the difficulty and the old way gameplay might turn off the newcomers to the series. I would rank TWEWY as 4. 3. I don`t really like FPS... but... metroid actually is not bad. Multiplayer would rocks if it wasnt for excessive number of hackers. 2. New SMB, yeah. 1. Mario kart, yeah. I don`t consider pokemon platinum a must buy. The series still appeal for the people and being a trainer is fun, but diamond/pearl/platinum isn`t nowhere as good as gold/silver/crystal. I guess i would consider heart gold/soul silver a must buy if they keep the gameplay on it like the original gold and silver.

I think:

1) Mario Kart
2) New Super Mario Bros.
3) Zelda Phantom Hourglass
4) Animal Crossing
5) Pokemon
6) GTA
7) TWEWY (Even though I haven't played it, Lol).
9) Yoshi (Seems like everyone likes that)
10)Super Mario 64 DS.

(Not really in any order).

Idk, it's hard to make one list to fit every DS owner. I love some games, but other people wouldn't really enjoy them.

This is definitely blog material rather than forum material. Also the list needs pokemon, should probably include TWEWY (though I can't say from personal experience), and needs some castlvania game. I would also put LoZ : PH since it's a pretty awesome game.

Yeah you're right... these forums should be kept clean of conversational traffic for people who need to find a Munchinik to trade or get a Poke-battle code. Get real. And then you contribute anyway... what are you smokin' and where can I get it?:lol:

I'm just thinking it makes more sense for this in a blog. It can work in a forum, but I just find it's better in a blog. I also put my own points since I felt that the list was kind of crazy (I've tried some of those games (*cough transformers*) and thought they were pretty horrible. Also I'm not smoking anything, just boiling in a hot house.
I would have to agree with there being too many pokemon threads here though.

Warhammer? Really? That game got a 4.5 from IGN. I think you're better off with Advance Wars, Fire Emblem, Age of Empires, or Final Fantasy Tactics.

Your list needs at least one Castlevania title, they're essential.

Honesty, no . . . but it's a game I considered getting while I was hunting down the top strategy games for the DS. Out of three reviews I read (GameSpot, IGN, and 1up), three reviews were quite unfavorable.

Dude, if IGN gives a low score to a DS game, then its really bad. They give 8.5 to valkyrye profile DS, if i`m not wrong, and the game doesn`t seriously deserve 8.5, maybe 7, just because they ruined the gameplay on the DS entry.

1. Mario kart DS Mario kart DS is the first ever time Mario has gone on a track on a handheld. It has a Ton of tracks as well as characters. This game has great multi play action and provides hours on hours of fun. It still has a Mario kart crazy items at your disposal. Its just plane fun if you have a DS you need to have Mario kart DS.gameninja13

Castlevania, Advance Wars, and Pokemon are all missing from the list. One of each of these are must haves for the DS.
